Curve GXR – Werner
Once again another superb Curve GXR titanium custom bike we made for Werner. For the wheels we used the silent Onyx Vesper rear hub and SON Dynamo in front laced to Beast GR25 carbon rims made in Germany. Tufo Thundero tires offer puncture protection while still being fast and offering a lot of grip. For stem and cockpit we choose ENVE carbon parts. Groupset is a SRAM AXS Rival / Eagle Mullet that offers a wide range in every situation. A White Industries headset is a nice addition to a high end bike like this. Supernova lights allow long rides in the dark! SILCA Nastro handlebar tape an Fizik Vento Argo saddle finish the bike nicely.
